Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Viciously dedicated to the complicated structure of law and court, Farkea has made it her eternal task to rightfully punish those who have broken the rules. Her dutiful devotion to the preserving of laws and justice stem from the harsh bullying she received as a hatchling.

Once Farkea reached adulthood, she discovered another dragon whose beliefs matched hers: the Nhiostrife known as Bylinda. The judicious Wyvern agreed to allow the young Hellfire to study under her watch and learn the rulings of the court. Farkea graciously and passionately did so, learning much from Bylinda and even earning herself a place in the chancery.

However, Farkea's mind was still tainted by the cruel treatment she experienced when she was little, and sought to savagely punish those who broke the rules. She grew corrupt, and her sisters Kartic and Heiras, though not blood-related, were forced to put a forceful stop to her brutality. What Farkea called justice, others called revenge.
